Laws and regulations aren't going to solve all the world's problems.
The confusing language in 9-11-257 was added in a failed attempt to curb illegal dog hunting. It didn't work.
Prohibiting people from hunting on their own land to suit you is not the proper role for our government. Your problem has already been addressed by the law, and it carries a pretty stiff fine. Stacking up laws on top of each other won't solve any of your problems. It will only contribute to the problem we already have of having too many laws and regulations to keep up with when we try to enjoy our liberty and freedom.
Section 9-11-241
Hunting, trapping, etc., of wild game during day on lands of another without permission.
Any person who hunts, traps, captures, injures, kills, or destroys, or attempts to hunt, trap, capture, injure, kill, or destroy any wild game on the lands of another between the hours of daylight and sunset without the written permission of or accompanied by the landowner or person in possession or control of the lands shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and, upon conviction, shall be punished for the first offense by a fine of not less than one thousand dollars ($1,000), and at the discretion of the court may have all hunting license privileges revoked for up to one year from the date of conviction. Any person shall be punished for the second and each subsequent offense by a fine of not less than two thousand dollars ($2,000) and the revocation of all hunting license privileges for one year from the date of conviction, and shall be imprisoned in the county jail for a period not less than 10 nor more than 30 days.
This section shall not apply to the members of the family, guests, servants, or agents of the landowner.
